If you don't need to do any stdin via the Debug I/O tool I think you can 
just replace sys.stdin w/ a file something like this:

sys.stdin = open('myfile', 'r')

If you want to do this only when Wing's debugger is active then:

import os
if 'WINGDB_ACTIVE' in os.environ:
     sys.std = open('myfile', 'r')

(or something similar)

Please let me know if this does not help.
